I received the invite for HL WG test on Weds at 10AM. It says to complete 'within three days of receiving this email'. Does anyone know if that means I have until 10AM Saturday to do it, or they would expect it to be on the Fri? Maybe I'm being pedantic but the 'within 3 days' seemed a little unclear!
Thanks all

Its hard to know whether they would count the Wednesday as a day or not. I suspect it actually means through to 23.59 on Saturday (test systems aren't sophisticated enough to know the hour you received the email and usually just turn off when a day turns into the next at midnight). YOu might want to do it by 23.59 tomorrow though, just to be safe. However, in some cases the test does not actually time out, it is just easier for them to tell you it does so you complete it in a timely manner.

Jessica you’re correct. I had the same question and emailed them. They said that the deadline is Saturday 11.59pm (I received my test invite on Wednesday in the morning too @prospectiveswitcher ).

Thanks for clarifying - this is useful, so thank you for sharing this information.

Anyone else still waiting for CC call either way? My AC was in W/C 16th Jan.
Wonder if there are any more successful calls going out tomorrow, or just PFOs.

Also still waiting - my friend told me that last year he spoke to GR and they said that they don’t do successful apps then unsuccessful apps. Instead, they mix it up.

I was thinking this, but it seems that all calls so far have been acceptances

Looking to put in direct TC applications at the moment and was unsure as to where to apply owing to the stage we are at in the recruiting cycle.

Interested in Private Equity and more broadly American commercial firms in London.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks

For Bakers direct TC:

Q2 states: Tell us about something - anything - that excites and inspires you. (300 words max)

Must I only talk about ONE thing, or can I speak about 2-3 things which excites and inspires me? Thanks!

slaughters are interviewing until the 17th of feb.

Slaughter and May February interviews are all for the vac scheme. The direct TC interviews start back up in March. There might be exceptions ie if an applicant said they needed to respond to another offer, but I booked my interview at the beginning of December for March, and on the email it said it was only running summer scheme interviews in jan and feb. Just to clear up the slight confusion I’ve seen on this thread ie slaughter and may!
